BASIC OPERATIONS
The IC-7800 has 2 bands, main and sub bands. The
main band is displayed on the left hand side, and the
sub band is displayed on the right hand side of the
LCD. Some functions can only be accessed to the se-
lected band and the transmission is only permitted for
the main band (except the split frequency operation).
➥ Push [MAIN] to select the main band.
• The key backlight for [MAIN] lights.

➥ Push [SUB] to select the sub band.

VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscilla-
tor, and is commonly referred to as a main tuning func-
tion.
The main dial is often called the "VFO knob."
➥ Push [V/M] to switch between VFO and memory
modes.
• "VFO" appears when VFO mode, or the selected mem-
ory channel number appears when memory mode is se-
lected beside the frequency readout.
• Pushing [V/M] for 1 sec. transfers the contents of the se-
lected memory channel to VFO mode. (p. 8-5)
